CLS has come and gone, and I was nowhere near ready. So I've decided to go ahead and start my CLS prep for next time now, so that I will have plenty of time for anything I need to do. Where I'm currently at: 5* G6 Luke, 5* G7 STHan, 5* G7 R2, no Old Ben, no Leia. Basic plan: 7* R2 will require 7* Empire (Palp(L), Vader, Tarkin, Thrawn, RG); farm Luke from Cantina node, buy Luke and OB shards from guild store whenever available, transition to OB Cantina farm once Luke reaches 7*; Farm STHan from Arena store until he reaches 7*, then same with Leia. Questions: What Gear levels and Ability levels do I need to shoot for in these characters? (Same question for Empire for R2 event as well.) Will I need any Omegas/Zetas to complete the event?I would appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer. Even strategy advice or suggested changes to my plan would be great. Thanks in advance!

Plan B Empire toon won't be needed for Thrawn--I 7-starred him!! =D

Thank you so much--that's incredibly helpful!! I appreciate you taking the time. :smiley:

I was indeed prepping for BB-8, but I had decided to halt all FO farming until I'm prepped for CLS. Do you think that works? The main reason I decided to stop is that I have almost none of the RJT characters, so even if I tried, I don't think I could get her next time she comes around.

I'll do my best to get FO farming back into the mix. I do actually have BB-8 already, but only 5*.

Old Ben might take you awhile, even assuming you refresh Cantina energy, to grind. Leia and Han are pretty easy grinds in arena store. Luke can be annoying to grind but it’s alright. They all need to be at least Gear 9 to work. Han and Leia need extremely good mods and high speed. I only omega’d Leia’s Leadership ability, everyone else was 7 (except for R2, who I had at gear 10 with all omegas). Luke needs crit chance so he can stun. It took me a couple of tries but I unlocked CLS

Not all of them.

The most important and difficult fight is the last one, and Old Ben isn't a part of it, so pick one of the other three. I went with ST Han's. I also found Ben's useful earlier, but not as important.

Do I need to upgrade all four leader abilities as well? Will I really use them all?

Most people either go with STH's leader (I did), or Leia's.

Leias leadership is best but theres a han and fbl only stage that can be difficult so sth would make sense.

So I've got G9 Old Ben and STHan. Everyone else G8. Gearwise, is there any more I should really consider doing, or can I focus my gear farming elsewhere now?

for gear you're probably fine though maybe borderline. i did it with all g8 but it was admittedly rough and took several attempts. having han at g9 as you do would have been a great help.

Sounds good. I'll probably try for R2 G9.
Thanks guys!

Ok, I've now got G9 R2. I'm still steadily working on shards and taking all the abilities to level 7.
But something just occurred to me--Mods. I haven't modded any of these characters yet. What kind of Mods do I need?

Generally, the advice is to just move your arena mods over to the OT team.

Generally, speed is essential on everybody. Luke and especially Leia need to do lots of murder, so crit chance/crit damage. Some potency for R2. As much protection as you can possibly pile on for Han.

yeah lots of protection for han and all the speed you can muster for leia and r2. i had the speed for those 2 around 200 when i did it. don't want to spoil too much but keep in mind you won't need all the toons at any one point in the process, so you don't have to have enough mods for all of them at once.

It isn't spoilers at this point to say Ben dies. Particularly since it's already been mentioned.

I've figured out by now that the story follows the movie. I know Ben dies. :p
